Nibbling a deep-fried Snickers. Sipping a mid-morning beer. Flipping pork chops on the grill. Taking questions from voters while standing near hay bales in the muggy Iowa summer.
Presidential candidate Jeb Bush took a break from his Paleo diet and hit all the traditional marks as he campaigned Friday at the Iowa State Fair, a massive festival underway in the state that holds the first nominating contest in the nation.
Bush is struggling here, and is in seventh place with the support of 5% of Iowa Republican voters in a CNN/ORC poll released earlier this week. That’s 17 points behind front-runner Donald Trump, who plans to land at the fair Saturday in a helicopter.
Bush, who has referred to himself as the tortoise in the race for the GOP nomination, brushed aside the polls as “irrelevant.”

Not HALAL Alert!!!
But did he have “huac-a-moley”
I liked to ask him why he always talks glowingly about illegal alien kids and not native born kids.
Bush is irrelevant in the GOP race.
I guess Trump will be out of place -he doesn’t drink any alcoholic beverages. Not sure if Cruz does or not - I haven’t heard anything about that.
What is a paleo diet and who cares?
Supposed news is just gossip.
Many Presbyterians don’t.
I’m not sure which is more fun. Seeing Trump at the top of the polls. Or watching Bush struggle in the single digits, and forced to mingle with the common folk in Iowa.
I think it has more to do with the young death of his oldest brother who died from alcoholism. (Fred)
Hillarious!!!
7th place.
He was supposed to be the Designated Loser.
That is struggling, when you have more money than most of the other candidates combined.
The Cheap Labor Express is not amused.
It’s when you eat only meat, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Essentially what “Hunter gatherers” would eat.
No one cares.
Well shoot. He’s just a regular fella.
I’ll be voting for him...NEVER.
This act is really, really old and tired.
“Bush is struggling here, and is in seventh place with the support of 5% of Iowa Republican voters...”
Duh! Ya think. Did Jeb promise you a lick at his Snickers’ plate to write about this Paleo-moron?
:)
If Trump were sipping a mid-morning beer, there’d be h double hockey sticks to pay.

Irrelevant, only when you’re behind.
Kinda like buying or selling a used car. That 100,000 miles on the odometer is “nothing” to the dealer trying to sell it to you but if you have a 100,000 miler to trade in, it’s ready for the scrap heap, according to that same dealer.
